We have decided to start with housing since many of our readers seem to have a great concern about housing at Haskell.

Apparently over the years little has changed with Haskell’s housing?

Haskell's housing has had the same department heads for years. Maybe it’s time for a change there?
After all it may be hard to have new ideas with the same old leaders?

How much housing experience did these leaders bring with them when they were hired?

We understand there are still room checks? Not the safety checks that KU does. Haskell university students are treated as if they are attending a boarding school. Housing staff tells to clean their rooms. As if that is not injustice enough the housing staff actually enters students rooms to check and see if they are clean and for the grand finale they can be kicked out of the dorms for unclean rooms!

Do some students get back in the dorms because they run to someone to get a grade changed so now they once again qualify for the dorms? Who is that person who changes the grades? Grades are grades and once given should they not stand?

Seems like students complain a lot about not being able to find some of the dorm staff?

Why are they not where students can find them?

How about dorm safety? One dorm has 3 floors, yet there is no full time staff on floors two and three?

Is the only full staff in any of the dorms is only on the first floor?

A new semester has begun and we hear Chris Redman is doing a good job.
That is not to say that he has not inherited years’ worth of Haskell problems.
Could the following be true?
Haskell’s enrollment is still down?
Haskell’s dorm situation is as bad as ever, as far as letting students be readmitted who should have been long gone?
Haskell is still not graduating a majority of their students?
Haskell continues to throw money at the AIS degree? A degree that most students cannot get a job with? Unless there are jobs for people willing to picket for the rights of beavers??
Do some housing people continue to work and do a good job while others simply don’t care?
Or maybe we should rephrase that to a majority that doesn’t care?
Maybe a change in the higher up people (T & T..AKA B&B) at housing would be a good start? After all housing is very important to how students succeed in school isn’t it?
What about all student run dorms? Like at the real universities?
After all this time where are the four year programs? Can a school really be a university with 3 or 4 four year degrees to choose from?
Hang in there President Redman!

A division of Time Magazine, Time Moneyland "Insights from your wallet to Wall street" has named Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas one of the 24 most affordable schools in the United States and has also labeled it a dropout factory. It's current total enrollment of approximately 800 students and dropping is not helping the situation. Since the departure of Dr. Warner the school has been on a steady down climb.
What good is a school no matter how cheap it is if it can't graduate its students?
